Is it acceptable on this board to raise the topic of another Porsche model: the 928? (If not, are there any good websites anyone can recommend, that way I'll keep this board 924 pure.)

Well, I took it to the local main Porsche dealer.

They found some minor oil leaks which they suggested can be compensated for by topping up intermittently but reckoned the oil was free of water and ...

I just had another thought...

Are you talking about the oil level light going on, or the oil pressure light?

When you change the oil, how much are you putting in to start?

Oil light came on? How many miles on the engine? A healthy 944/924S engine will not need any oil between changes (2.5K-3K miles).

Here's a question, hope someone can help:
